There are plenty of highways with tolled Express lanes that dynamically adjust the toll. Every entrance to the tolled area will have gantries anyway so its simple to count entrances and exits.

You don't know anything about costs in NY it seems.
We spent line 30 million on a staircase for a subway station.... Widening it.

Not wrong.
You either know or have paid off the right people in NYC to get a good deal as a business, and if you haven't, there's basically no reason to be here if you're a large multinational.

Boy it sure would be nice to have a city council that would bother to hold hearings on this kind of OBVIOUS grift, rather than spend its time on boutique social programs and pointless wedge issues

Well in any event, Dolan’s lawyers are the real winners in the this.

But that’s incorrect. Over 20 million were Chinese, which had no direct conflict with the Nazis but instead fought the Japanese (and had their own brutal civil war). In a weird twist of history a Nazi party member named John Rabe helped save 250,000 civilians in China during the Japanese rape of Nanking. It would be more accurate to say that the total 70 million dead were due to Axis aggression, not just the Nazis.

Ok, you obviously don’t know New York politics. Their one and only goal is to extract as much revenue from their constituents as possible. End of story

That's idiotic policy , but it's irrelevant
The comparison would be the governed revoking your occupancy permit on your house, and the justifying paying you 40k.for taking rhe raw land since it doesn't have an occupancy permit ..
Dolan sucks , the corruption and expense to do anything in NYC sucks, the fake 5-8 billion dollar number being thrown around is probably ridiculous, I don't know enough to confidently comment.

Who the hell wants congestion prices i live in the Bronx and already pay city tax we already pay tolls to go into other boroughs. Why should we now pay a tax to go below 60th street. I drive in to work everyday and pay the expensive parking downtown because i can’t rely on taking these disgusting trains. But ok just keep killing the working class.

Barclays center in Brooklyn not a top area of it cost 1 billion dollars..there's nowhere near the density in that area or access issues. The land value is not on the same level of pen district.
5 billions probably high, but to even think something in Edmonton has any value on comparison is ridiculous
The bills are spending .1.4 billion on a. Stadium in buffalo ny lol & granted that's absolutely ridiculous.
5 is probably high but most comments here are saying he shouldn't get anything. (him sucking is irrelevant, you can't end around eminent domain )
It would be like the governed saying, we've revoked your occupancy permit for your house , now it's only worth the raw land of 50k, that is what we will pay you for eminent domain

Honestly, all biases aside I hear you.
That would make perfect reasoning if we’re speaking on individual US citizens who are property owners.
Not implying that James Dolan isn’t a US Citizen, but the Dolan’s ownership of MSG had not paid any city property taxes in decades.
The fact they still get subsidized damn near 40+ years is beyond me.

Fair enough, what valid inverse condemnation claims in NY state have you observed that resulted from the revocation of a temporary permit? I can give you two common circumstances off the top of my head where these claims always fail:
A) I’m a restaurant owner and my liquor license was revoked, my business has been irrevocably damaged and I demand just compensation. These are denied because no business in NY state has an inalienable right to sell alcohol, they receive a permit which can be revoked at any time.
B) I’m a concert / event organizer and my permit to conduct my event was revoked by a county/municipality/etc. My brand is inseparable from the location where said event was held, so I demand just compensation. These are denied because no business in NY state has an inalienable right to host a high-capacity concert, they receive a permit which can be revoked at any time.
Valid inverse condemnation claims have a pretty high bar and involve assets that have been damaged due to material and reasonably unforeseeable changes (i.e an international airport is opened up next to a nature preserve for exotic birds). There were interesting inverse condemnation claims that were filed during the construction of the USA/Mexico border wall by effected property owners, for example.
Not renewing a permit is not a material change of circumstance. The permit is inherently temporary. It has an expiration date, renewal terms, cancelation clauses (I’m assuming).
If James Dolan sold you MSG under the pretense that the permit was guaranteed forever, you would have a valid legal claim against him. The city is under no obligation to renew the permit in perpetuity, therefore there has been no change to the value of the property, therefore no claim.
